As I am on an entry level in recording, I am concerned about drummer's hearing protection. I am looking at the Sennheiser's HD280 headphones, with a rated 32 dB isolation. In this price range, this rating seems typical of phones made for greater isolation. A few questions on the HD 280's for...

Scenario: In situations where a vocalist is new to multitracking, it seems that on occasions using closed-back headphones may make it difficult for that vocalist to find his/her voice in the playback. If semi-open headphones may be helpful for such vocalists, bleed over must be addressed. Some...

Hello Steenamaroo, No need to apologize at all; your advice would be practical if I were to have kept either unit. The pictured knobs pictured are those on these models. However, when I applied a bit of pull on them to see how easy they may come off, they did not seem to want to give; in fact...

Steenamaroo, I returned the DP008 and bought an DP008EX model--same issue, same knobs/pots. I can see some distance between the knobs and the body of the unit, as if either it is a matter of wear that is allowing for movement or the nut issue you mentioned. I tend to think it may be loosened...

For ashcat_It and community: Yes, sir: I will lend what I can of insight upon what I believe is largely an impedance related issue. First, thanks for the insights you contributed on this subject--very insightful, especially on the type of pick up impacting sound dynamics--I may want to try...

The effect boxes almost certainly are affecting the impedance level combined with the padding of Tascam's High-Z guitar input making your signal strength "very thin." Check with Tascam, who are good about responding on customer's issues; if I may emphasize, I would contact them before doing...

Hello Tascam User Community, I recently bought through an online retailer a DP008 and still have time before return deadline. Of concern, the Input A & B Trim knobs seem have a lot of wiggle movement back and forth. Is this a typical with use and not necessarily a potential problem (i.e...

I'm sorry, as a Newbie, I was all over the place in my earlier request for consumer use feedback on or simply knowledge of the GT-1 and 1b units. Of need of information, are there natural cabinet and instruments listed as legendary combinations, such as a certain amp with a certain guitar...

Hello Keith, In treating the room, any thoughts on surrounding my workstation with 5' fold out dampening panels (that I intend to use recording drummers on mobile sites)? With the monitors in the living room, too many spots to address, otherwise, before using fine idea of reference tracks...

Hello, As I learn about my new unit, does it allow sweeping EQ'ing in a time-progression fashion to view what the mixing looks like while heard? I bought a set of monitors and have a very good set of phones, but if I can see graphically of what the signal sounds like, it can help me determine...

Hello, With a round back Ovation, I likely cannot use the strap-pin to hold the bracket without producing stress on the composite back material. Accordingly, will a double back thick tape, work well to keep the pick and GK-3 in place? If so, what kind of tape should I use and will it last in...

Hello, For use of these Bosses in series of direct recording input: While I've read a download manual for each unit, do these 2 units allow for a wide amount of natural modeling of cabinets and instruments? I've read a lot of reviews about effects but not much at all about natural cabinet and...

Hello Dave, I did find on the KRK's company's products website the -10dB level for its 51Hz bottom. I do appreciate you pointing this out. At -3dB what would estimate the bottom to be? At zero? Thanks, JeffF.

Hello garww, This pertains to what you colorfully and kindly encouraged of me to "get my sh** together" (in how I understand instrumental ranges) . . . I pondered your insights, bewildered at first as this is new to me. Then, I think I saw something for the first time in boarder concept . . ...

Message deleted. As a new user I am getting familiar with function. Not sure who received this as person intended.

Hello Dave, I have seen recently specs on a monitor--I cannot recall of manufacturer--but they ethically showed the difference at variable dB ranges as what you stated KRK does not--unfortunate practice. At my intro knowledge level, it didn't occur to me that this is universal in effect; I...

Thank you garww, If I may respectfully ask, am I correct in understanding your opinion is whatever is that whatever is happening below 50Hz or above 15KHz is not essential to the listening experience of--pardon the phrasing--the garden variety or everyday common listener? If so, do you cut off...

Hello Mike, With sincere gratitude for this community's related feedback on general points, I do ask for thoughts on using phones for mixing between 20 to 50Hz, if the phones allows a mix as intended as heard on a burned CDs, played in car (as Mike suggested). Then I can find whether a...

Warm greetings all, I read an article that the producer of the debut album of the Red Hot Chili Peppers used a 4 condenser mic' configuration. However, the article did not describe mic' placement. Although not looking to mimic that drumming, I would appreciate any shared experiences with 4...
